You have to get up long before the crack of dawn, but watching wine country wake up from the basket of a hot air balloon is worth getting out of bed early. Coffee and pastries are waiting when you check in for your flight at Domaine Chandon Winery in Yountville. It's just a couple minutes shuttle ride to the balloon launch site. Seeing the balloon inflated is exciting, but the real fun starts at liftoff. Scenic flights last about an hour. After touchdown, passengers head back to Domaine Chandon Winery for breakfast and mimosas. No bags of any kind are allowed on balloon rides, but don't forget your camera.
